When will it EVER warm up?

We've had some tile work done in the field around our house. Austin loves watching the guys work. I think he wishes it would warm up so he could be outside too!
Will that day EVER get here?!

Happy Birthday!

I've had to hold off on this post because of Austin's attire. I didn't want to spill the beans too early! We celebrated Brian's birthday a day late due to his snowmobiling trip. We had the family over for pizza and cake. I think the boys love having their own table. Moxie likes it too...she cruised under their table until they were done. She even managed to get an entire piece thanks to Austin!

Brian had plenty of help blowing out his 31 candles...ok so maybe there weren't 31 but we did the best we could!

He also had plenty of help unwrapping his gifts.

The boys were especially fond of his new Jordan's!

Great Papa K

We went to visit Great Papa K before his trip to AZ. It was such a nice visit. I captured this picture shortly before we left. All happy boys!

Snow Pictures

I've been wanting to do this for a while now but it's always so darn cold. So finally we had a day when it was a bit 'warmer'. Austin and I braved the cold and snapped a few quick pictures. By the last one you can tell he's over it!

ISU GO!!

We had extra tickets to the game tonight so we invited Kennedy and her Daddy. Austin was smitten! They caused quite the stir cruising around Redbird Arena before the game holding hands!

Snow Day

It snowed so much that Brian had to bring the tractor over and plow the driveway out.
Austin was eager to help of course!

Of course we had to try Daddy's snowmobile out too!

Happy New Year's!

We had a house full for New Year's! It was fun to all be together! The kids had a blast in the basement. It was nice for them to have a place to play and be loud but where we could easily keep an eye on them. I'm not sure why I didn't take more pictures.
I think I assigned everyone a 'job' that evening.
Brian and Jamie were in charge of the dip!

The boys had their very own table. Austin tried so hard to keep up with the big boys all night.

We hope this New Year will be just as good and even better than last year! Hopefully it will be a bit calmer and more relaxing since we won't be 'under construction' this year. We have many plans this year and look forward to the many surprises that are in store for us too!

Happy 2010!!

Potty Training Attempt 2

For some reason I thought today was a good day to have Austin wear real undies. I made him sit on the potty every 20 to 30 minutes. He had a few accidents but did surprisingly well. At least this time around he wasn't screaming to get off the potty.

Let it SNOW!

We finally got some more snow! Enough that Brian brought his snowmobile to the house. I got Austin geared up and Brian took him for a ride. I think he liked it!

Away they go!

Snowmobiling

Brian brought his snowmobile over to the house today. He and Austin wasted no time in going for a ride. Austin liked it but I think he was cold. We don't exactly have the best snow clothes this season. His Mommy really dropped the ball on this one!

My Boys never stop. Next they were on to shoveling the porch. Notice all the pictures are from the warmth of my home. I don't like being cold but love to watch from inside!
